[HARMONY KORINE'S SPRING BREAKERS]
Follow the camera as it moves.
"They belong to me not you. You need to know that man."
"'Cause I've been thinking about killing your stupid ass."
"I ought to shoot you in your motherfucking face right now."
I want to make sure when this movie... that no one's really comfortable for too long.
I didn't want you to ever just be able to like just sit there and get lost in it.
Like I wanted there to be like a physical component.
Like you were having to ride with it, or something.
I thought that the movie should be based on something that was more like a pop song or something.
More that had hooks, and where there was a catchiness to it.
It was very quick. And then it would kind of disappear into the night somewhere.
It was something that get lodged in your mind
and then bam, it just disappears.
Skrillex and Cliff Martinez did the score together.
Some sequences were just individually Skrillex or Cliff, and then
other things were combined. We would combine the two. It became a kind of
like almost like a collage. It was crazy, I literally never worked with anybody,
not anyone on the crew, not even the cinematographer Beno√Æt.
I was a big fan of his and I needed someone that was innovative,
and was kind of magical, and like viewed cinematography in a different way.
I always wanted to do things with colors and grain structure.
And just stuff that was just lights and camera movements that was more
kind of a game, you know what I mean. Like I told him, "I want the movie"
"to look like you just lit it with Skittles."
The first week when I was working on it, working with my editor remotely,
He wasn't even there. We weren't in the same place, and it was a really intense shooting the schedule.
I was horrified. I was just like, "Man I don't know if this is gonna work in this way."
"The way that I wanted to." Pretty much didn't sleep. It was brutal.
I think by day ten or twelve, or something like that, I saw that it could work.
That the language was going to work. That once I was in there, that I could
get it to be what I wanted it to be.
Yeah they found a paparazzi dude who burrowed himself in under the stairwell
for a week, surviving on only fudge and water.
The people that say this film wasn't twisted enough, or people that just
want to see porn really. Those are people that like want the films to be like
NC-17, or they just want to see his movies just play in five theaters in America.
Again it's like, it's boring to me. It's culturally boring. It's stifling.
It's like you don't want to just affect the culture in this way that's like...
You don't want to be just hitting your head on a ceiling
because can't see your films. I could so easily make this an inditement,
or an essay on vapid youth culture. But I also find something interesting
in that world too. There's something poetic and exciting to me as well.
So, it's never one way. i try to make movies with my heart.
You go with what feels right. So, I felt like if the energy was pure,
and the rhythm was pure, that I was on the side of righteousness,
and I could do anything I wanted to.
Nothing is right or wrong. Like once they become the character,
once we're in the location and it is the movie, then it all just becomes
a decision that you make. And it's all kind of perfect.
And sometimes the mistakes are the more interesting.
So, you set up a situation where anything could happen.
And then you also express the fact that they need to be bold
and go for it. And you know, and then you will make good movies.
So, frusshhhhhh! Just do it.
"Spring break forever bitches."
